The Sydney Manga and Anime Show's (SMASH!) Anime Music Video competition has returned in 2014!

After a record-breaking, yet epic run in 2013, Sydney's convention, SMASH! is back, and as a result, the Anime Music Video competition has returned too! (AMVs to make, yay!) This is the convention's 8th year in running the AMV competiton, and as such, the organisers of the competition hope to make this a better event than the last. ^_^

We had some great entries in the past, as well as well-known winners (such as in SMASH! AMV 2012 and SMASH! AMV 2013), so we hope to see more quality entries this year! Importantly, this competition is open to EVERYONE around the world, and not just for Australians.

So! Let's get to the basic, yet important details of the competition!

- When is the competition open: NOW CLOSED! Thank you to all those who have entered!- When is the deadline: July 1, 2014 @ 11:59 p.m. (UTC+10) (For other timezone, please see at the end of this post!)- Up to three (3) videos can be entered.- Videos may be no longer than 5 minutes.

Also! Don't forget about the attendees! Screening your AMVs is a pleasure viewing towards our attendees! In the past years, they would come up to us and ask, who made that?! Or even how to! We would love to screen your enjoyable AMVs for pleasure entertainment and hope to spread how fun AMVs can be, across Sydney and all over Aus! Help us increase the AMV community within Aus!~~

You can still put it as unsure and we can check it and we decide on it for you lol~ We will send you an email on what category it has been placed and if you don't feel that's the right place, you can tell us and we will place it at your choosing.
